The Resequencer works in a similar way to the Aggregator, in the sense that it uses the CORRELATION_ID to store messages in groups, the difference being that the Resequencer does not process the messages in any way. It simply releases them in the order of their SEQUENCE_NUMBER header values.

With respect to that, the user might opt to release all messages at once (after the whole sequence, according to the SEQUENCE_SIZE, has been released), or as soon as a valid sequence is available. Another option is to set a timeout, deciding whether to drop the whole sequence if the timeout has expired, and not all messages have arrived, or to release the messages accumulated so far, in the appropriate order.
